The productivity of lowland rice farmers using agricultural machinery is different from that of farmers who are not using agricultural machinery, namely the productivity of lowland rice farmers using agricultural machinery is 6,825 kg/hectare/season, 771.0 kg higher than the productivity of paddy rice for farmers who do not use machinery, which is only 6,066 kg/hectare/season. The outpouring of labor for rice farmers using machine tools is different from the labor for rice farmers not using machine tools, where the labor for rice farmers using machine tools is 69 working days/hectare/season, 42 working days less than rice farmers not using machine tools which is 111 Working Days/hectare/season.
